Description
Companionship care around Burgess Park means being the person who brings conversation, reassurance and a sense of normal life to someone’s day. The work is centred on spending time with people: chatting over tea, joining local outings to the park or nearby cafes, supporting hobbies, and light help around the home so clients feel safe and settled. These are ongoing self‑employed opportunities for experienced carers who prefer relationship‑led care rather than clinical shifts.
Right now, 224 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
PrimeCarers is set up for carers who want control. You are self‑employed, set your own rates and choose which clients, hours and parts of Southwark you’ll work in.

This work suits people who enjoy company and conversation, who can support someone to get out for short walks in Burgess Park, meet neighbours or pursue a hobby at home.
